Let it all burn
03:24
|

beer and cigarettes
there's booze and brunettes
there's hookers and midgets
all placing their bets
on who's getting lucky
and who's going down
but nobody knows
which is which in this town.
Darkness and neon
puke in the streets
there's glowing bar portals
spilling out all the beats
And I've heard 'em all
yeah I've heard 'em before
But I'm stumbling around
at their beck and their call
You can't save my soul
It's all full of holes
Life in this city
is taking it's toll
So let the fucker burn
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
And then let it drown
Faces are blurred
The scene is absurd
The animal growls
are the worst that I've heard
There's no point to the party
There's no point at all
We're only standing here
'cause we're too afraid to fall
You can't save my soul
It's all full of holes
Life in this city
is taking it's toll
So let the fucker burn
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
And then let it drown
Head in my hands
Staying here is the plan
The world is spinning round
I'm a sick helpless man
And I knew this would happen
I've been here before
But I no longer know
How to stop this fall
Save my soul
It's all full of holes
Life in this city
is taking it's toll
So let the fucker burn
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
And then let it drown

Bring on the clowns
04:00
|

Whaddaya know, it's all a show
The curtain's coming down
The hero's dead, the villain's fled
The actors take their bows
The painted smile begins to die
as you begin to see
That you've been playing masquerades
While others fought for real
The wind without, the dark within
The stagedoor slamming shut
For all bright lights have died tonight
As you walk away from love
Still you hear the jingling bells
but can't see where they're at
For on your head there still remains
A broken jester's cap
A tragedy to some, a comedy to others
How you've been stumbling around, a jester in a crown
The punters laugh, the punters scream
Bring on the clowns
But I can see your face from here
Someone save the clown
save the clown
You can't go back, you can't stay here
the laughter's still too real
You wipe away your makeup and
destroy all that you've been
For those who laughed shall laugh no more
the show is over now
And he who laughs the last shall walk
away from this unbowed
A tragedy to some, a comedy to others
How you've been stumbling around, a jester in a crown
The punters laugh, the punters scream
Bring on the clowns
But I can see your face from here
Someone save the clown
save the clown

The world caves in
02:39
|

wake up
start the day
yeah up and away
you drag yourself and all your demons back into the fray
you know your life is mess
nothing more nothing less
and theres a sad sinking feeling it's as good as it gets
the lights go out
the world caves in
and night comes on
in the dark city
Well I've seen you before
but now you've faded some more
A ghost of memories left behind, you weren't needed no more
But as the lights go out, you're back again
and I'm starting to remember why I left you back then
the lights go out
the world caves in
and night comes on
in the dark city
you don't know who you are
you don't know where you've been
you got a hole in your heart, you're trying to fill up with sin
but it's a one track road straight down to hell
But when you get there
will you be able to tell.
the lights go out
the world caves in
when night comes on
in the dark city

Smoke and embers
05:05
|
|||
The ashes clogging up my lungs
the charred remains of all we've done
crunched beneath my feet out here
wandering through burned out fields
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
these blackened timbers will not burn
the sky is gray the snow is white
seeking warmth through evening light
as winters chill seeps to the bone
you're naked scarred and all alone
alone
alone
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
these blackened timbers will not burn
These blackened timbers will not burn
As the world it turns
and nothing's learned
again we try, the sparks they fly
fly up high
fly and die
The aimless wanderer stumbles on
through towns of ghosts and forgotten songs
The fire we built has choked and died
And now I see the flames were lies
lies, all lies
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
these blackened timbers will not burn

Flies in my room

Just one more day
Just one more way to see
Everything's wrong
Everything's wrong with me
Voices are calling
Voices are calling me, they say
Give up now, there's nothing left for you to feel
Keep on fighting, we all like a joke for free
The laughter in the dark
The savage grin upon my face
I'm dodging lies like bullets
as my heart begins to race, they scream
Go back, Go back
Give up, Give up
Head in my hands
Flies in my room
Keeping me moving
Keeping me moving on
The shadow of failure
The shadow of failure in front of me
I tremble before him
I tremble before him as he says
Give up now, there's nothing left for you to feel
Keep on fighting, we all like a joke for free
The laughter in the dark
The savage grin upon my face
I'm dodging lies like bullets
as my heart begins to race, they scream
Go back, Go back
Give up, Give up
Head in my hands
Flies in my room
Walk into darkness
Walk into darkness, bring no light
Stand on your own now
Stand on your own or die on your knees
Voices are calling
Voices are calling me, they say
Give up now, there's nothing left for you to feel
Keep on fighting, we all like a joke for free
The laughter in the dark
The savage grin upon my face
I'm dodging lies like bullets
as my heart begins to race, they scream
Go back, Go back
Give up, Give up
Head in my hands
Flies in my room
Walking away
Running away
Flies in my room
Lies in my mind

Something´s gone
04:24
|
|||
Mirrors lie, they change before my eyes
The face I see in there is no longer mine
Twist and turn, I dig and search to learn
That something's gone for good
And I can't remember what
Say my name, I need to hear it again
Something is wrong, I don't feel the same
My face isn't mine, or am I going insane
Gotta change my eyes, change my face, or change my brain
Something broke, I fell too far and choked
Upon a soup of lies that had filled my throat
Can't recall , I just remember falling
Something's gone for good
And I can't remember what
Say my name, I need to hear it again
Something is wrong, I don't feel the same
My face isn't mine, or am I going insane
Gotta change my eyes, change my face, or change my brain
Check my notes, feel like a cruel hoax
I can't read a single fucking word I wrote
Hands are claws, and my face is gone
And something's coming back
And I don't know what
Say my name, I need to hear it again
Something is wrong, I don't feel the same
My face isn't mine, or am I going insane
Gotta change my eyes, change my face, or change my brain
